Liverpool announced the renewal of Van Dijk's contract on the 17th (Korea time). Born in 1991, the 34-year-old Van Dijk was due to end his contract with Liverpool at the end of this season.
Although there was a flurry of controversy, Van Dijk decided to continue his company with Liverpool. He signed a new two-year contract. England's 'BBC' reported that Van Dijk pledged to dedicate his future to the club alongside striker Salah, who signed a two-year extension last week.
Van Dijk, who was rumored to be transferred to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), expressed his feelings about renewing the contract, saying, `It has always been Liverpool.' Van Dyke, from the Netherlands, is one of the best defenders in the world representing the English Premier League (EPL).
Having settled in Liverpool in January 2017, he was controversial for his high transfer fee (£75 million, about 141 billion won). However, he dispelled concerns by putting Liverpool at the top of Europe. Van Dyck, who ranked second in the Ballon d'Or in 2019, is not a little old, but he boasts the best skills in the EPL. He also played in 32 matches in the EPL this season, destroying Manchester City's stronghold and booking a league championship.
Van Dijk is in his eighth season with Liverpool. He has scored 27 goals in 314 appearances and has been appointed captain after Jordan Henderson's departure in 2023, serving as a mental pillar for the players.

And "I'm from Liverpool. A few days ago, someone called me the adopted Skouser. I'm so proud to hear this, and I feel so good. "It's incredible. It's amazing, I'm really happy that I can continue two more years at this club with the journey I've been through in my career so far."
It's another inflection point. Asked last month if he would remain at Liverpool, Van Dyke replied: `I have no idea.' After this season, there have been several speculations that the team could be moved to the FA (Free Agent).
Earlier this month, however, he made progress in negotiations with Liverpool over a new contract", he confessed. Liverpool have managed the team more stably by remaining Salah and Van Dijk.
However, Son Heung-min, who is a year younger than Van Dijk, has only mixed feelings. Salah was born in 1992 and is the same age. 'Captain' Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham will be terminated after this season. However, Tottenham launched its own one-year extension option instead of renewing the contract.
